The Intel® Edison development platform is designed to lower the barriers to entry for a range of inventors, entrepreneurs, and consumer product designers to rapidly prototype and produce “Internet of Things” (IoT) and wearable computing products. The Intel® Edison breakout board is designed to expose the native 1.8V I/O of the Intel® Edison module. The board consists of power supply, battery charger, USB OTG power switch, UART to USB bridge, USB OTG port, and I/O header.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) Platform• Provides seamless Device-to-Device and Device-to-Cloud communication• Ability to run rules on your data stream that trigger alerts based on advanced analytics• Foundational tools for collecting, storing, and processing data in the cloud• Free for limited and non-commercial use

Power SupplyIntel® Edison is a low-power device. In general, it does not draw more than 200mA with 600mA short duration spikes during Wi-Fi transmit. Therefore, an Intel® Edison device may run on USB power (when configured as a device), or an external power adapter from 7 to 15V.

HandlingWhen attaching an Intel® Edison module to breakout board, handle the Intel® Edison module by the PCB edges. Avoid holding or exerting pressure to the shields. To mate the Intel® Edison board to the breakout board, apply pressure directly above the connector and to the left corner.
